Girls see these defined roles they're supposed to follow in life, but when I was a young child, my parents told me I could be anything.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My parents always told me I could be anything I wanted to be.
I think I'm a different kind of role model for young girls.
My parents taught me I could be anything in the world I wanted to be.
I always look for roles that make me feel good about being a girl. I have to say that there are a lot of roles out there that make me feel really bad about being a girl. You can imagine what the things are and I shall not go into detail.
I was a weird but definite kid, and there were essentially no gender roles for me to fit into.
Girls are the future mothers of our society, and it is important that we focus on their well-being.
Growing up my whole life, my mom was telling me how incredible and special I was and that I was going to change the world. I think it's important for girls to know that they can change the world, that they do have an impact.
There are stereotypes that have been out there for a long time that tell girls that their main asset, the main thing that they are valued for, is their appearance and also that it's to the exclusion of anything else.
If girls hear that they can create and fulfill their own ideas of who they might be, those extraneous expectations can become less restricting and a lot more healthy.
All the characters on 'Girls' are growing and changing, which is how real people behave, especially when we're young, trying to figure out who we are, doing things that are the polar opposite of our characteristics.
